-Working with the Cint C++ interpreter
-=====================================

-Please see to learn about Cint
-and install it prior to installing ginaccint. For the interpreter-
-compiler `makecint' to work properly, the Makefiles need to know where
-Cint has its system directory. This is usually done by exporting
-$CINTSYSDIR to point to the proper place. With GiNaC you may either
-try to export that variable and type
- $ ./configure --with-cint
-or specify it directly on the command line by saying
- $ ./configure --with-cint=/my/path/to/cintsysdir
-This variable does not have to be exported for running the installed
-binary: since the actual program is started by a launcher that sets it.
-Enjoy!
